"Shovel Knight is more than just a great platformer; it's a celebration of classic gaming. Excellent controls, gorgeous graphics, an incredible soundtrack and endearing characters make the game worth playing, but top-notch level design, varied gameplay, hidden rooms, optional challenges and a deceptively rich combat system make it brilliantly memorable. The entire experience comes together so naturally that it feels more like a recently unearthed gem from the days of the NES than it does a latter-day attempt to milk nostalgia. Shovel Knight is the rarest kind of game: one that set sky-high expectations prior to release, and then managed to exceed all of them. It's a must-buy for platformer fans, and one of the most charming and satisfying experiences on the 3DS eShop to date."

ShovelFall puts you in control of an ex-angel who needs to get out of Heaven fast. You wield a trusty shovel that doubles as a weapon for slashing enemies or digging into dirt. The core loop relies on a charge jump mechanic that lets you build momentum before launching yourself across gaps. This action platformer is strictly single player, so you are the only one navigating through nine distinct levels designed to look like the circles of Hell. You will fight off demons and obstacles while moving downward toward your ultimate fate. The community reaction suggests this game brings a serious competitive edge despite its indie roots. One voter labeled the atmosphere as intense, which fits the high-speed combat and precision platforming required to survive. The visual style shifts from bright skies to darker underworlds as you progress through the nine stages. There is no hand-holding here. You need to master the shovel swings and timing to clear each level without falling into the pits below. It is a straightforward run that demands focus and quick reflexes throughout the entire adventure.
